Spring brings us warm rain, blooming flowers, more people on bikes and the dandyhorse magazine spring issue launch party.

Come to the Gladstone Hotel on May 30, 2011 and pick up a copy of the Spring 2011 issue showing you the many ways bikes are good for business on Bloor. Stick around and share a drink with fellow bike buddies and enter a raffle to win an Opus Cervin bicycle.

In Halifax, you lead the way by introducing people to everyday cyclists. The Halifax Cycling Coalition recently released several commercials in which we get to meet people who have discovered life by bike.

Can’t wait until October 7th to get the latest issue… here’s some good news:

Be the first to grab a copy this Sunday, September 26 at Word on the Street, Queen’s Park, Toronto!

Our latest issue features original art and illustrations by some of Toronto’s top artists and photographers, including Elicser and John Lee. In preparation for Toronto’s upcoming mayoral election, we feature a mayoral cheat sheet and profiles of the city’s top mayoral candidates. We also take it to the streets and interview regular people about why they love riding in the city and what they’d like the next mayor to do for cyclists. We also have a fashion photo feature, advice from our Polite Pedallers and a stunning new comic by artist Chimo Chan. And don’t forget to check out our new feature section, Clipped In, for the first of a series of provocative pedal stories: this time, renowned writer Richard Poplak takes us for a ride.

Dandyhorse No. 3 is ready to pop!Join us at the launch party on August 31.

Celebrate summertime with our full-colour 48-page homage to the most beautiful machine in the world: the bicycle!

In this issue we have original art by Marlena Zuber, Darren O’Donnell and Chimo Chan, hot photos of bmx tricksters and fast women delivering packages, Clare Barry’s “perfect commuter”, pedal pooches, a behind the scenes look at the making of the Bicycle Film Festival trailer, a sampling of rockers who roll in the T-dot and a feature on cover artist Elicser who rides and writes all over Toronto.

We also go “behind bars” with cops on bikes, take a look at mechanic certification and both sides of the e-bike debate.

Come to our Bike Art Dance Party at The Gladstone Hotel August 31!

The party starts at 7 pm and $10 admission includes the magazine and a raffle ticket for a limited edition print (of two) of original cover art by artist Elicser.
